Why hemlock wood is ideal for building saunas

When planning a sauna, choosing the right wood material is crucial for the longevity, aesthetics and functionality of the sauna room. Among the different types of wood that can be used for sauna construction, hemlock wood stands out. In this article, you will learn why hemlock wood is the ideal choice for sauna construction and why our saunas are made exclusively from high-quality hemlock and cedar wood.

1. natural resistance to moisture:

Hemlock wood is characterized by its natural resistance to moisture. This property makes it perfect for use in saunas where high humidity and temperature fluctuations occur. In contrast to other types of wood, hemlock wood warps less and retains its shape and stability even under the extreme conditions of a sauna.

2. low thermal conductivity:

Another advantage of hemlock wood is its low thermal conductivity. This means that it does not heat up too much and therefore remains pleasantly cool, even when the sauna is heated to high temperatures. This contributes to a more comfortable and pleasant sauna experience, as the sauna benches do not feel uncomfortably hot.

3. beautiful aesthetics and natural fragrance:

Hemlock wood has a natural beauty and texture that adds a warm and inviting atmosphere to any sauna room. It also emits a pleasant, natural fragrance that makes the sauna experience even more enjoyable. The combination of aesthetics and fragrance makes hemlock a popular choice for sauna construction.

4. environmental friendliness and sustainability:

As a sustainable wood material, hemlock wood is sourced from certified sources, which means it is environmentally friendly and sustainable. The use of hemlock wood for the construction of saunas therefore contributes to environmental protection and supports responsible forestry.
